You need just a few ingredients to make these elegant and delicious walnut horns from Loretta Stokes of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. “The dough can be made ahead of time and refrigerated 5 to 7 days,” says Loretta.

In a large mixing bowl, cream 1 cup butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour, beating until a ball forms. Divide dough into four portions. Roll each portion into a 12-in. circle.

Melt the remaining butter. In a large bowl, combine the walnuts, 3/4 cup sugar, milk, vanilla, salt and melted butter. Spread over each circle. Cut each into 12 wedges. Roll up wedges, starting from the wide ends.

Place on greased baking sheets. Curve ends to form crescents. Bake at 325° for 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks.

Place remaining sugar in a large resealable plastic bag. Add warm cookies, a few at a time, and gently shake to coat.Yield: 4 dozen.

"The people who are reviewing and saying: "These are harrrrrrd. It took too lonnnnnnng.".... I'm not sure what the issue was. Have you EVER baked something that didn't take some time? Barring the simplest recipes of course...baking CAN in fact be hard. So as for these delicious cookies, yeah, you have to take the time to bake them, but Taste of Home literally puts the time in the description of the recipe. If you follow the directions, and keep an eye on the cookies while they are cooking since EVERY oven is a bit different, this recipe turns out fine. As far as people complaining about them tasting like snowballs....they are almost the exact same recipe as snowball cookies so.... again...not sure where the issue is coming. I make these every year! And they are always a hit! If you are someone who prefers a powdered sugar topping, I just roll them in that after they are finished cooking and still slightly warm."

"My family and I didn't care for these cookies. They taste like snowball cookies (which we also don't like) so maybe if you like them you would like these cookies."

"Really like these cookies! I chilled the dough for about 15 minutes before rolling and lightly dusted my counter to prevent sticking. Wonderful with a cup of coffee."

"My family loves these, and I love making them. They are relatively easy, taste wonderful, and look beautiful on a holiday cookie tray. I have a convection oven , so mine bake for a much shorter time, so watch the first trays carefully, or they might burn"

"I reduced the cooking time to fifteen minutes or else the cookies burned and got hard in my oven. You may have to adjust your cooking time. 30 minutes seems way too long."

"Delicate and tender cookies that look like they are difficult to make but are really rather easy. I make these every Christmas."

"I just made these for the first time for our cookie swap, and I was very impressed with how it turned out. I have never made a cookie dough with cream cheese in it, so I was a very curious with how they would taste, but I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the dough. They also keep very well in an airtight container. Others loved them too, so this will remain in my recipe collection. Also, I made a batch with walnuts and another batch with pecans and they both were fantastic. They do take a bit of work, but I quickly got the hang of it and I feel they are well worth the effort."

"Was pleasantly surprised at how they turned out; I expected more of a 'crunchy' cookie instead of a pastry. My husband really liked them. They're a little messy to make, but worth it!"
